Tuna is the name of several types of large oceanic fish from the scombridea tuna family. This type of fish swims very fast and its speed reaches 70 km/h. Some skin types are warm-blooded. Unlike other types of fish that have white flesh, tuna has pink or dark red flesh. The reason for the redness of their meat is the high amount of myoglobin (red iron-containing protein in muscle) in the muscle tissues. The hard meat of tuna has many proteins and vitamins. Most of the tuna live in warm seas, but many of them travel to the northern waters of the globe in summer. "Blue fish wing" is about 3 meters long. Albacore is another type of tuna.
